Circuit N° 12 of Buenos Aires... is this the one used in the 1995 F1 season?



"There are some pikeys there at Turn 10 putting tarmac down - what do you think of that?" - Martin Brundle

no, that would be circuit Nº6, this one [www.grandprixgames.org]

I'm against sigpics

If not 1995, then what season was Circuit N° 12 used for F1? Or was it used in F1 at all?

No it wasn't.

1953-1960 Circuit #2
1972-1973 Circuit #9
1974-1981 Circuit #15
1995-1998 Circuit #6 with Senna 'S'

#12 is used by Turismo Carretera (I think that's the name) from Argentina, and Brazilian Stock Car races there at the #7.

Thanks for clearing this up for me Prblanco!

Maybe one day we will see the #15 and #6 for GP4!



"There are some pikeys there at Turn 10 putting tarmac down - what do you think of that?" - Martin Brundle

Wait.. these are all already finished and available for GP4? Impressive!

I'm going to try now driving some of these

Ok I drove a couple laps on Buenos Aires and Rio Blanco and this is what I think:

- CC-line feels a bit weird. I didn't get to know the tracks very well so it might influence, and I've tried building CC-lines before and failed massively so I'm no specialist, but it doesn't feel optimal: taking turns far from the apex, not using the whole track width to take the turns, etc.

- The 200/100/50 metres signs sometimes are in the wrong side of the road. I don't know if things are like this in the real tracks, but I doubt it is this way.

- There are no elevations, tracks look flat. I know throwing this into the mix makes track building much more complicated, but it makes the end product much better too.

The good things:

- The graphics are fine. Not incredible hi-res, but I noticed some objects which seemed specifically done for the track.

- It seems very stable, no game crashing or anything, which means these can be used as a very good starting point for future versions.

Sorry for the mistake, is that there are many variants.

GP de la Republica Argentina de F1:



Circuit ° 2 (3,912 km): (1953)



Circuit ° 2 Inverse (3,912 km): (1954 - 1960) except 1959



Circuit n° 9 (3,345 km): (1972 - 1973)



Circuit n° 15 (5,968 km): (1974 - 1981) except 1976



Circuit n° 6 (4,259 km): (1995 - 1998)




TC (Turismo Carretera):

Circuit n° 12 (5,641 km):

Unfortunately this is the problem with many new tracks...many track makers (of course not all) pay no attention to the cc-line and it is quite bad so that driving is not much fun....especially for keyboarders.

Haven't found any other new tracks with that problem.. except for my own attempts :D

I publish the track Juan Manuel Fangio of the city of Balcarce, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Looks ok, but it could be improved quite a lot with some minor work

Its hard to get a cc line to suit everyone though. Keyboarders have their own styles which might not always suit cc lines. And with a wheel it doesn't matter so much, as long as the cc cars aren't doing anything silly.

That's true that keyboarders have their own driving style...but the cc-lines I am refering to are two meters away from the apex, do not exploit the whole width of the track, cause remarkable speed differences between cc-cars and player car and simply don't allow smooth driving

good cc-lines make a difference to cc lap times though

That's not so important. Laptimes should be determined by magic data and performance file, not by cc-line.
It is important that the cc-line is realistic, allows smooth driving for keyboarders and also cc-cars have realistic speed in the corners.
You should try to create a cc-line giving approximately very similar gaps for each of the three intermediates between your and the cc-car's fast laps. For example, if you are 0.9 seconds quicker than the others and the track layout is regular then you should gain 0.3 seconds per intermediate - or if the laptimes are very close to each other then also the intermediate should be. Of course this may vary because often a circuit has both slow intermediates with many curves and fast intermediates with straights at the same time (for example Indianapolis or old Hockenheimring). The cannot be this exact as I have described.
To underline this I give a example of how it should not be. I experienced this already but I have forgotten at which track. I was at the same level with the fastest cc-car...so lap difference of 0.0 sec. But now look at the intermediates: Int 1: +0.6 , Int 2: -0.8 , Int 3: +0.2
These are the fastest laps and it was impossible to go much quicker...or slower ^^
In this example it means that I was much slower in Int 1, but extremely quicker in Int 2 whereas the third intermediate (Int 3) can be considered as realistic. The same situation in the race - the result: Impossible to follow and overtake the cc-cars in Int 1, but much too easy in Int 2 because they are so slow, whereas Int 3 was realistic. That 's not a good cc-line and it does not make much fun to drive as it does not provide a realistic race.

Ok, I have explained my opinion and experiences a bit detailed now
I just wanted to show that cc-line should not focus on laptimes, but on realism, 'driveability' (does this word exist? ) and similar competitiveness of player and cc-cars.
Latimes are determined by performance files (and magic data).

Sorry for spoling this thread with my off-topic explanations.

Nevertheless GP4Argentina brings out many new tracks for GP4

So the circuit N°6 doesn't exists for GP4?

I publish the track of the city of Rio Gallegos, Santa Cruz, Argentina.

thanks, great news!

Peperonis, it stayed impressed with the work developed having like base the track´s of the TC Argentine.
Excellent work!!! Fantastic!!
I worship the circuits of 9 of July and Rafaela, healthy a delights of itself I fly...
It has some bugs and problem in some CC-lines, but that affect in nothing the quality of the work made.
Congratulations to everybody "los hermanos" that contributed for the development of these track´s.
Was worth!!!

Peperonis, fiquei impressionado com o trabalho desenvolvido tendo como base as pistas do TC argentino.
Excelente trabalho!!!! Fantástico!!!
Eu adoro os circuitos de 9 de Julho e Rafaela, são uma delicia de se pilotar....
Tem alguns bugs e problemas em algumas CC-lines, mas que não afetam em nada a qualidade do trabalho feito.
Parabéns a todos "los hermanos" que contribuiram para o desenvolvimento destas pistas.
Valeu!!!

Peperonis, permaneció impresionado con el trabajo desarrolló tener quiere la base los rastros del TC argentino.
¡Trabajo excelente!¡!!! ¡Fantástico!!!
Venero los circuitos de 9 de julio y Rafaela, sanas una delicias de sí mismo yo vuelo....
Tiene algunos bichos y probelmas en algunas CC-lines, pero que el afecto en nada la calidad del trabajo hecho. Las felicitaciones a todos "los hermanos" eso contribuyó para el desarrollo de estos rastros.
¡Valía!!!
